A certified Jersey Jawn who now calls the DC Metro area home, I love God, trap music, DST, being churchy, graphic tees, code-switching, designer coffee, happy hour, anything fried, Cobb salad, bearded dudes and doing Bourgeois Hoodrat stuff with my friends.

Always focused on relationship building, I engage with a broader audience via my blog, as a guest speaker, as a guest on various podcasts, facilitating workshops and training, and as creator of the #RecruiterProblems meme series. 

In 2017 I founded TRAP Recruiter, LLC, to do my part to bring trust, relationship building, accountability, and a proactive approach back into the recruiting lifecycle. During my 20-year career, I have implemented creative recruiting strategies for Defense, Intelligence, Federal and Civilian contract portfolios and accumulated a full range of Talent Acquisition experience including Full Life-Cycle Recruiting, Executive Hiring, Talent Acquisition Operations, Training Development and Delivery, Talent Acquisition Project Management, College Recruiting, Internal Staffing, and Proposal/Incumbent Capture.

The feedback that Keirsten provided was niche compared to most of the reviews I've received over time. She is extremely personable and candid.

You won't find anyone more talented in career coaching and talent acquisition. I dare you to try.
